[R-sig-ME] Predict and plot lines estimated from MCMCglmm?

[Malcolm Fairbrother]

Hi Jesse,

This is an application in a completely unrelated substantive domain of
research, but you can find code to plot (ggplot) the results of MCMCglmm
fits in the Supplementary Material here:
https://www.sociologicalscience.com/articles-v3-17-359/

Maybe that will help you out.

Best wishes,
Malcolm
